Isopropyl Palmitate 98 - Uses, Benefits & Applications

Isopropyl Palmitate, commonly abbreviated as IPP, is the ester formed from palmitic acid and isopropyl alcohol. It has the chemical formula C19H38O2 and CAS number 142-91-6. IPP 98 is typically supplied as a clear, colorless liquid and is widely used as a specialty emollient ester in cosmetic and personal care formulations.

Isopropyl Palmitate 98 helps provide a smooth, soft and easily spreadable product feel. It can be incorporated into creams, lotions, moisturizers, makeup and other formulations where formulators require enhanced slip, emolliency and sensory performance. Its liquid ester form also makes it useful in oil-phase formulation systems.

Isopropyl Palmitate 98 can help reduce a heavy or greasy sensory feel in suitable formulations while improving spreadability and lubrication. It may also function as a carrier or solvent for compatible oil-soluble ingredients. The exact performance depends on the total formulation, ingredient concentrations and required finished-product characteristics.
